Bleach diluted 1:9 with water is enough to kill the parvovirus. So I would mix up bleach and water yourself and then as an extra measure you follow up with the Chlorox afterwards. I would also keep all other pets away from Max if possible until he has hopefully recovered and 7-10 days after resolution of symptoms, especially not fully vaccinated pets. I do hope that your pup is able to make a full and speedy recovery soon! Best wishes and take care.
